UNSPSC 50387532: Sea buckhorn berry purees

The variety of fruit known as sea buckhorn berries which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50387532 Sea buckhorn berry purees is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code span canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and broader food and consumable products for institutional meal services — work that falls outside the narrow definition of sea buckhorn berry purées and suggests either systematic miscoding or incidental tagging of food procurement categories that do not reflect the commodity's actual market. None of the solicitations in the recent activity block request sea buckhorn berry purées or products derived from sea buckthorn berries.

The issuing bodies across the broader food procurement activity in the dataset include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office), county school systems (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia, Muscogee County School District in Georgia), independent school districts (Austin Independent School District in Texas, Dallas Independent School District in Texas, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri), and municipal agencies (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases). The geographic spread spans Oregon, Texas, Illinois, Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned fruit applesauce (4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026); Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026); and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide (210 line items including fresh, frozen, dry, and refrigerated products, with a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years, due March 19, 2026). Because the recent opportunities show no actual demand for sea buckhorn berry purées and instead reflect routine institutional food supply contracting, this code appears inactive for its stated commodity and does not warrant pursuit without evidence of genuine market demand.
